Elättäjyyttä vai erotiikkaa : miten suomalaiset miehet legitimoivat parisuhteensa thaimaalaisen naisen kanssa?

2005

Hannu Sirkkilä on tutkinut suomalais-thaimaalaisia parisuhteita 18 suomalaisen miehen kertomusten pohjalta. Kyseisten suhteiden syntyyn on liitetty vaimojen välitystoimintaa ja seksiturismia ja ne ovat saaneet kielteisen leiman. Haastatellut miehet haluavatkin tavallistaa thaimaalaisen vaimonsa ja parisuhteensa. Tämä tapahtuu kuvaamalla oma vaimo aktiivisena ja tahtovana naisena eikä alistuvana, kuten thaimaalaiset naiset esitetään stereotyyppisissä käsityksissä. Useilla miehillä on ollut jo ennen suhteen alkua suuri kiinnostus Thaimaata, sen ihmisiä, kulttuuria ja luontoa kohtaan. He puhuvat vältellen aiempiin matkoihin liittyneistä mahdollisista seksiturismikokemuksistaan. Suhteiden alku …
